According to a post on GAF, PlayStation 3 system software 4.20 will be released tonight.

The new features include tweaks to the wireless stereo headset options, time-off adjustments and the ability to copy multiple items of save data.

The full rumoured list is as followed:

Wireless Stereo Headset

When the wireless stereo headset (CECHYA-0080) is connected, you can now adjust the sidetone level for microphone audio. Select [Sidetone] under (Settings) > (Accessory Settings) > [Audio Device Settings].

Off: Disable microphone audio from the headset

1-5: Enable microphone audio from the headset

Auto Off

You can now set the amount of time until the system automatically turns off. Under (Settings) > (Power Save Settings) > [System Auto-Off] you will be able amend the time for [Video/TV/Music/Photo] and for [Game/Other Features]:

Video/TV/Music/Photo – After 1 Hour, After 2 Hours, After 3 Hours, After 4 Hours, After 5 Hours, Off

Game/Other Features – After 1 Hour, After 2 Hours, After 3 Hours, After 4 Hours, After 5 Hours, Off

If you enabled [System Auto-Off] in system software prior to version 4.20, the selected time will be set for both [Video/TV/Music/Photo] and [Game/Other Features].

The default settings are [After 4 Hours] for [Video/TV/Music/Photo] and [After 1 Hour] for [Game/Other Features].

Save Game Selection

Under (Games) > (Saved Data Utility (PS3™), you can now select multiple saved data items, and then either delete or copy them as a group.

You cannot use [Copy Multiple] to select data that is copy-protected.

Some saved data cannot be copied.

The upper right corner of the screen displays: the number of saved data items that are selected, the total number of saved data items and the total file size of the saved data items that are selected.

its a shame if they dont. they let the psp go without interesing updates for a long while. even just a couple of nice features will get people to turn it on and check it out. i dontbsee many interesting Vita updates coming soon either…

I understand why you’d delete game data as theyre hefty files but save data is pointless, plus I like to keep them as there are some games that give you bonuses and things for having played other games.
Each to their own I suppose.

All those kbs & mbs add up in the end tony! Plus it’s sometimes the utility files that new games look for (Yakuza off the top of my head), so sometimes its just not enough to have the save there still.

120Gb is just not enough to keep all of the save & utility files i would like, so i have to manage my space unfortunately.

I do the same as Forrest and as soon as I finish a game I never go back to it so I delete the game data. However with my save files I transfer them onto my external drive but erasing them, just incase I may need them as currency when the Fallout comes :)
